Blake Mount – Driver of the No. 7 Performance Tech Liger JSP3

“Going into the Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix Presented By Acura this weekend I am feeling very confident. We were able to test here prior to this weekend, and that’s been the biggest thing missing all season. Hanratty and I felt like the platform we came up within the test will be a great asset to performing well this weekend.

It’s an incredibly fun track to race; the high commitment aspect of the track is something I truly enjoy. They say the bus stop in Daytona separates the boys from the men, but I think that Mosport is the true separator. There is so much rhythm to this track, and I am excited to get to work on Friday with the team and Max to prepare for a good qualifying session. That’s definitely the key to this weekend.

I wanted to thank my sponsors, Sobel Westex, Hotels.com, SHR for their unconditional support of not only me but my dreams as well.”
